| 2b2972-ex | Red quebracho extract | Additive composition Wood extract of Schinopsis balansae Engl. Solid form Characterisation of the active substance Extract of condensed tannins from red quebracho Extract obtained from wood of Schinopsis balansae Engl. by steam under pressure, further filtration, concentration and spray drying of the concentrated solution as defined by the Council of Europe (1). Specifications Condensed tannins: 70-87 % FEMA number: 2972 Analytical method (2) For the quantification of condensed tannins (phytochemical marker) in the feed additive: indirect gravimetric analysis of tanning agents with fixing of the absorbent compounds in low chromed hide powder – ISO 14088 | Turkeys for fattening | - | - | 540 | 1. The additive shall be incorporated into the feed in the form of a premixture. 2. In the directions for use of the additive and premixtures, the storage conditions and stability to heat treatment shall be indicated. 3. Mixture of red quebracho extract with other botanical additives is permitted provided that the amounts of condensed tannins in feed materials and compound feed are lower than the one resulting from the use of a single additive at the maximum or recommended level for the species or animal category. 4. For users of the additive and premixtures, feed business operators shall establish operational procedures and organisational measures to address the potential risks resulting from their use. Where those risks cannot be eliminated by such procedures and measures, the additive and premixtures shall be used with personal breathing, eye and skin protective equipment. | 10 January 2034 |
